{{item infobox
A '''Brick Block''' is a block that has made an appearance in every Mario platformer to date. As its name implies, Brick Blocks are blocks made of bricks.

A '''Brick Block''' (or '''brick block'''), sometimes simply known as a '''brick''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=17|date=1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/DS_New_Super_Mario_Bros.pdf|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=17|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''regular block''',<ref>{{cite|author=Sase, Shinji, [[Howard Phillips]], and Lynn Griffes, editors|title=''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]''|format=U.S. Edition|date=1987|location=Redmond|publisher=Tokuma Shoten, [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|isbn=4-19-72003-XC|page=10}}</ref> '''Normal Block''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' instruction booklet|page=9|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Block''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' instruction booklet|page=12 and 18|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=2010}}</ref> is a recurring type of [[block]] either textured or designed to resemble a brick wall. Brick Blocks have appeared in nearly every game of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] to date.


In most ''Super Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] or any other character can break this block only in their [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or higher tiered variants of the Super form, such as the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] or [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]]. Brick Blocks can be broken in many ways (usually just by [[jump]]ing into them from below); they give the player ten [[point]]s (50 in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and its derivatives). If [[Small Mario]] or [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] hits a Brick Block, it just bounces up slightly. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, they work just like [[? Block]]s, as the item pops out and the block turns into an [[Empty Block]].  Regardless, any enemies walking on the block will be injured. In ''Super Mario Bros.'' and the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], Brick Blocks' colors change to fit those of their environment (blue while underground, gray/white in [[castle]]s, red in volcanic areas, etc.)
In the side-scrolling games, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] could only break this block as Super Mario or another form of Super Mario, such as [[Fire Mario]]. By jumping into it from beneath, the Brick Block would shatter, giving you ten points.


When a [[P Switch]] is activated, Brick Blocks turn into [[coin]]s and vice versa, unless the Brick Block contains an item.
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' Brick Blocks appeared again, only this time filled with sand. However, they are otherwise no different from their earlier counterparts.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
Bricks debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', where they are used as containers and platforms. In [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|a]] [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|few]] [[World D-3|levels]] in ''The Lost Levels'', the castle walls use the same brick styling as bricks, which can make them harder to see, as only the small white top of the block can be seen. This is alleviated in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions, where the castle wall is replaced and [[Hidden Block]]s replace the bricks. According to the game's manual, power-up-holding bricks<ref>{{cite|quote=If you come across mushrooms who have been turned into bricks or made invisible, they reward you by giving you a power boost.|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=8|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1985}}</ref> were one of several objects that [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] were magically transformed into by [[Bowser]].<ref>{{cite|quote=One day the kingdom of the peaceful mushroom people was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles famous for their black magic. The quiet, peace-loving Mushroom People were turned into mere stones, bricks, and even field horsehair plants, and the Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin.|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=2|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1985}}</ref> The breakable ones, however, would seem to not be transformed Mushroom People. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions of both games, the player character will continue their upward momentum slightly after punching through a brick, rather than rebounding back down.


====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Starting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Brick Blocks could also be [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounded]] to break them.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bricks shimmer and are as yellow as [[? Block]]s due to graphical limitations on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. This carries over into the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4]]'', where they both use the golden coin palette. They can now be broken by tail whips and kicked [[shell]]s. [[Mega Block|Bigger versions]] of Brick Blocks first appear in [[Giant Land]], though they function the same as their regular variant. The first level of [[Desert Land]] introduces [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s that wear dull bricks (except in the ''All-Stars'' version, where their blocks shine like normal ones) and attempt to stomp Mario by hopping towards him.


====''Super Mario Land''====
In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', bricks are also referred to as '''blocks'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=9 and 12|date=1989|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> but serve the same purpose.


====''Super Mario World''====
{{Blocks}}
{{main|Rotating Block}}
Brick Blocks were [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but were eventually scrapped and replaced by [[Rotating Block]]s.
 
====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:Super Mario Land 2 Brick Block.png]]
In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', bricks have a different appearance, with closed, pleased eyes resembling the game's [[Fire Flower]]. Despite the change in appearance, they serve the exact same purpose.
 
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Making their 3D ''Super Mario'' debut, brick blocks (also referred to as '''sand bricks'''<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=14|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref>) appear again in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where they are filled with sand inside. They work like they do in the 2D games, and occasionally contain [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.
 
====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic [[Block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s are re-skinned to resemble brick blocks, though they behave the same as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. A different visual change is given to [[crate]]s, however. They can be broken by most of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]]'s attacks. There is also a large black variation of the block that can be broken only by Wario (although any player character can break it with the help of a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]). [[Yoshi]] cannot break any of them unless he is under the effects of a mushroom.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros.'' series====
As of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', bricks can also be [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed to break them. In the game's sequels, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Brick Blocks function identically as in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.''
 
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its follow-up ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', resembling their original design due to having four layers of bricks. These Brick Blocks can only hold [[coin]]s inside, but they always break apart when hit.
 
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', working as they did in the 2D ''Super Mario'' games. Certain Brick Blocks hide [[Tail Wheel]]s, which have the platforms they are on ascend when spun. Additionally, a Brick Block-like enemy known as the [[Fake Block]] is introduced. These enemies camouflage themselves with regular Brick Blocks, and attack when the player approaches them. [[Blokkablok]]s also have spiked Brick Blocks as segments; unlike normal Brick Blocks, theirs can be broken by Small Mario.
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Brick Blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', working as they did in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Big Blocks also appear, and similar blocks known as [[Crystal Block]]s also debut in this game.
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Brick Blocks (referred to simply as '''Blocks''') reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as objects that can be placed into the level (excluding the ''Super Mario World'' style, where they are replaced by [[Rotating Blocks]], which the game also labels simply as "Blocks"). They serve the same purpose as in most ''Super Mario'' games.
 
====''Super Mario Run''====
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' working as they do in other 2D '' Super Mario'' titles. Sometimes, they contain a [[color coin]] or [[Bonus Medal]] inside. [[Cutting-Edge Spire]] has a section where Brick Blocks have to be broken by the player to advance, a rarity in 2D ''Super Mario'' games. Brick Blocks can only be broken by characters that are two blocks tall. In earlier versions of ''Super Mario Run'' prior to the Fall 2017 update, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s did not have Small forms and therefore always break Brick Blocks at the cost of dying whenever they take damage. In versions since the Fall 2017 update, said characters and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] have Small forms to shrink into when being hit, now functioning identically to Mario and Luigi.
 
Brick Blocks are [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]]s that can be purchased and placed in the Mushroom Kingdom in Kingdom Builder mode. They come in a number of variations with differing arrangements of Brick Blocks. '''Block A''' is a single Brick Block, taking up a 1x1 space. '''Block B''' is a pair of Brick Blocks placed side by side, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block C''' is a pair of Brick Blocks with one on top of the other, taking up a 1x1 space. '''Block D''' is three  Brick Blocks arranged in a "L" shape open to the right, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block E''' is three Brick Blocks arranged in a "L" shape open to the left, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block F''' is four  Brick Blocks arranged in a square stacked upward, taking up a 1x2 space. Block E is available exclusively as a [[My Nintendo]] reward for 100 Platinum Points each, while the rest can be obtained by normal means in the Shop or the Bonus Game of Remix 10.
 
[[Mega Block]]s also appear, as two buildings. A Mega Block building with just one Mega Block, and a Mega Blocks building consisting two Mega Blocks with one placed on top of the other.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Brick Blocks appear again in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', working the same as in previous games. They resemble their original design, as they have four layers of bricks. In the [[Wooded Kingdom]], Brick Blocks are made out of stone.
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:Partrick.png|thumb|100px]]
Brick Blocks (again simply called Blocks in the Course Maker, though referred to by their full name in [[Yamamura's Dojo]]) appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', acting as they did in ''Super Mario Maker'', with Rotating Blocks replacing them in the ''Super Mario World'' style. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, [[Crystal Block]]s replace regular Brick Blocks in the forest and underground themes, while [[Hard Block]]s take the form of [[Rock Block]]s.
 
A Brick Block with a pair of black feet and legs along with eyes, named [[Partrick]], can be seen in the game's Story Mode, and appears next to [[Soundfrog]] in the level creation menu.
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', working the same as they do in previous games.

[[File:BrickBlockSMB3.png|thumb|Toad underneath a brick in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bricks often appear in the background. Some are used as destructible platforms, though. In "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]", rebelling [[pipe creatures]] that [[Toad]] made use the wand they stole to make a pile of bricks act like [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s. In "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", Mario calls a brick holding a [[Super Leaf]] a "'''Super Block'''".

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Block#Brick Blocks}}
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], Brick Blocks only appear in ''Super Mario'' stages, such as the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] of ''Super Smash Bros.''

Melee'', [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] (where they are aged and more realistic, as with the rest of the stage), [[3D Land]], and possibly in [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] (bar the ''Super Mario World'' style). They also appear in the 3DS version's Smash Run mode. They can be broken as in the ''Super Mario'' games, though they are a bit sturdier after ''Melee''.
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
[[File:Bouquet Gardens Block 2.png|thumb|Mario standing on a Brick Block in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.]]
In the ''Paper Mario'' series, Brick Blocks primarily serve as breakable obstacles and do not often give out items like [[? Block]]s. In every game, regular ones can be broken with Mario's [[Jump]] and [[Hammer]] attacks.
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Brick Blocks can also be destroyed by Kooper's shell. Some ? Blocks are disguised as Brick Blocks.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Brick Blocks serve a similar role to ''Paper Mario''. They can sometimes contain coins. In the Super Bowser Bros. segments, four Brick Blocks clustered together appear to form larger ones.

They come in normal-sized and big versions, and give the player a coin when broken. If Princess Peach uses the [[Gloom]] Vibe, she can quickly strike a cluster of these blocks all at once. Darker and sturdier variations also appear, which can only be broken by the [[Poundbrella]] move.
 
===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
Brick Blocks appear as items in the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]] event in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', where they are referred to simply as '''Blocks'''. If used, the item drops a Brick Block in front of each of the other opponents, which will cause them to lose speed if ran into, but can be avoided by simply running around them or using a [[Shield (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Shield]]. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Brick Blocks appear as obstacles in [[Dream Platform]], where they cause the player to lose speed and gain a point penalty if they crash into them, however can be destroyed if they are hit with a [[Red Shell]] or [[Bomb (object)|Explosion]], or if a character hits them while using a [[Barrier (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Barrier]].

[[File:DrMarioWorldHiddenVirus.png|thumb|Brick Blocks may contain viruses or other objects in ''Dr. Mario World''.]]
Brick Blocks appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', where they are referred to as '''blocks'''. In order to break a block, a [[capsule]] match need to be made near it, or that a skill or item is used to eliminate it. Some of the blocks may contain something such as [[virus]]es. Objects hidden inside blocks are not active, such as [[Capsule Plus]] where it will not countdown until it is released. Some of the [[Coin Block|blocks]] may contain [[coin]]s, where the coins that come from these type of blocks are pink with the image of a virus imprinted on it.
